This Easter Sunday is Prue Bury’s birthday, and for it I’ll be posting a very special photograph of her, taken by a Beatle on the set of A Hard Day’s Night. Prue’s on the right in this photo, age 17, at the Royal School of Ballet in London.
In 1958, Antony Armstrong-Jones, later titled the First Earl of Snowdon, was appointed the court photographer for the Royal Family. That same eventful year, Armstrong-Jones took this portrait of Prue.
Soon afterwards, Prue would meet Mary Quant and Vidal Sassoon, and be a witness to, and a part of, the start of what later came to be known as Swinging London.

Happy Birthday Prue! You are fabulous!
There are so many great singles from the Sixties. Most groups had only one, the Left Banke had two, and it’s amazing how many the Beatles had.
Wow! Pretty Ballerina by The Left Banke is one of my absolute favorite non-Beatles 1960s songs!
